Another thing. I just can't stand the passive aggressive stance WT makes in the next comment in the next sentence right after they claim they " don't interfere with law enforcement " .

This quote > " Instead, the elders judge, or determine, whether an individual can remain in the congregation. " By stating this RIGHT AFTER claiming they don't " interfere " with law enforcement - it's like the GB or WT leaders are strutting their authority to " worldly secular authorities " like saying - " nah, nah, na, na -nah WE determine who can remain a JW - secular authorities DO NOT . "

So stupidly, inadvertently, WT Society ADMITS that THEIR standards are much LOWER for a child molester to remain in the congregation as a JW than the standards of worldly secular authorities locking up a child molester for 50, 60 years in prison ! Incredible. Hypothetically a JW child molester within the WT organization might be " forgiven " just reproved and remain a JW - even though the police authorities and courts of the land find him guilty and he serves life in prison ! Yet he's STILL in good standing as an alleged " JW christian " while serving his prison term. Now wrap your mind around THAT for a moment- and see if it makes you want to vomit. I'm sorry- but this WT organization is f---ed six ways from Sunday. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Here's another BS statement by WT representatives in this article " The elders do not interfere with law enforcement ; they leave criminal matters to the secular authorities. "

They DO interfere with law enforcement - by NOT reporting it as elders to the police themselves. They generally leave it up to the abuse victims and their families to report child abuse crimes to the police. WT Society legal department would rather have elders stonewall the police authorities so as to shift the responsibility of reporting child abuse to the victims. Here's the deal- the reason for this attitude on WT legal's part is to avoid any unwanted attention in order to avoid any more costly lawsuits than they already have.

And it's totally hypocritical on WT's part. Like Stuckinarut stated " WT would insist on reporting murderers, right ? " Yet WT won't insist on appointed elders reporting child abuse to police. It should be MANDATORY that elders report child abuse to police- yet to save their ass financially- WT Society won't insist elders do this.

And one more thing : this ridiculous WT article says NOTHING about child abuse victims being helped by professional therapists, psychiatrists, or counselors to get needed assistance by trained professionals who would help them heal.

WT just says for individual JW " brothers or sisters " to help these ones by having a cup of tea with them and listening. Although that's nice - do we really think any of these " brothers or sisters " are more highly trained than therapists, psychiatrists, or counselors who have been educated to assist child abuse victims ? Once again WT drops the ball in this article. There's no change here in attitudes of the WT leaders. Same shit, different day. Makes me pissed. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

The Society even admitted they had a problem with their pedophile leaders.

by new boy in

oh, yes, the society even admitted they had a problem with their leaders.

a january 1, 1986 watch tower article (p. 13) stated: “shocking as it is, some who have been prominent in jehovah’s organization have succumbed to homosexuality and child molesting.” .

in the watchtower article, they didn’t disclose the rest.

flipper

I agree with Steve's point- the idiocy of the WT Society comparing a CRIME and felony of child molestation where a person can serve prison time - on the same level with an alleged religious " sin " of homosexuality , immorality, or wife swapping - tells you all you need to know about how much WT Society leaders minimize the crime of child abuse. WT leaders need to have a lobotomy performed on their brains and throw their original brains into the garbage with yesterday's trash. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Hello Everyone, Another JW Has Left!

by SuperGirl in

just want to introduce myself and let you know that this site is working and is a big help to lots of jws with doubts.

i've been lurking for about a year, the first couple of times i was frightened and literally shaking visiting an apostate site but it's the only place i can come to for sanity.

the religion has become a nut house.

flipper

SUPERGIRL- Welcome to freedom of thinking and freedom of movement. I wish you the best. I had an elder dad for years and I escaped the JW's back in 2003. Best decision I ever made. You wont regret it. Take care, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Abuse Survivor's $4M Judgment Against Jehovah's Witness Umbrella Organization Upheld by Court 12/10/18

4 million $$$$ lawsuit upheld by the court. Great news. Multiply this by the thousands of child molesters still in the Jehovah's Witnesses organization who are hopefully being found out and WT being charged in lawsuits, in time WT Society will be leaking more financial oil in their wheels than they can afford- hopefully. Just goes to show WT Society is not above the laws of the land in spite of WT leaders own cockeyed opinions of themselves. Peace out, Mr. Flipper
